<p>So my school year is divided into quarters. I'm planning on sending a midyear report to Tufts, which summarizes my grades from the first 2 quarters. For the first one, I had all straight A/A+'s, but for the second quarter, I know that my grades will be kinda....less. As a prospective engineering major, AP English and Spanish just arent holding it for me and AP Government is... well, its just plain hard haha. Im expecting B/B-'s in those classes, depending on how I do on my mid-terms. Is a tough case of senioritis enough to have Tufts take their acceptance back?</p>
<p>It certainly doesn't look great, but I think you'll need a larger drop than that to warrant rescinding your acceptance.</p>
<p>Not a large enough drop for them to rescind, but they may notice and ask you about it, particularly if your slump continues or worsens as the year goes on. You might think about being prepared with a statement about why you're confident that you'll be successful in college, just in case they ask.</p>
<p>Agree with the above posters. A slight drop to a B or B- in one or two subjects is fine. I would not, however, let those grades drop further, into the C range, in the Spring quarters. If I recall correctly, most acceptance letters specifically tell you that you were accepted based upon your academic credentials as submitted and you are expected to uphold your end of the deal by maintaining those grades. There will be so many qualified waitlisted applicants that schools like Tufts can turn to at any time. You don't want to give Tufts any reason to rescind your acceptance.</p>
<p>I also know students who did not do well in the Spring that received letters from their schools over the summer asking them about grades, etc. Some of them started off their freshman year in college on academic probation because of grades earned in the latter part of high school.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
